A Refreshing Gift for Teachers

The school year is winding down, and if your kids aren’t already singing “no more pencils, no more books…” they will be any day now.

Though certainly not mandatory, a gift for teacher is a simple way for you and your kids to show your appreciation for their dedication throughout the year. The gift doesn’t have to be expensive – especially since you may also want to gift teacher’s assistants, coaches or other instructors in your child’s life – and a little creativity goes a long way.

This refreshing idea from pro-crafter Lisa Storms is perfect for the summer season. Just stuff a reusable acrylic tumbler with gourmet lemonade packets and a thank you note from your little one. Lisa’s free printable drink flags add a scholarly touch.

With a thoughtful gift like this, kids are guaranteed “no more teacher’s dirty looks”.

    We have given several of these tumblers and have been the fortunate recipients as well!

    What a cute idea! I’m a teacher & I’d LOVE to receive this as a gift! And I’m already planning on my boys giving this to their sweet teachers this September! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
